Privilege escalation via forged room-add request
Published Aug 20, 2024 · Updated Aug 20, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in Hotel Management System commit 91caab8 allows remote attackers to escalate privileges through admin_room_added.php. The room-add handler accepts a state-changing request under an administrator's authenticated browser session without validating an anti-CSRF token. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to interact with attacker-controlled content, allowing unauthorized room-management actions.
